Jules Renard, the French author, said, “It is not a question of how old you are, but a question of how you are old.” We cannot control aging but how do we prevent it before time? Before we delve into understanding how preventive healthcare the new form of anti-aging is, let’s try to comprehend what causes us to age. A study published on NCBI, states “The causes of aging synergize with each other”. The study also states that aging is a result of damage to cells, tissues, and organs that leads to the development of pathological conditions and eventually, death. According to Medical News Today, the damage is a result of several factors like environmental, psychological, poor diet, stress, etc. 5–10% of our aging process is related to our genes. The rest is how we treat our bodies. Four causes of aging are dependent on free radicals, inflammation, stress, and too much sugar. But how do we determine things like the level of inflammation or the amount of sugar in our bodies? It’s possible through preventive healthcare. Cheaper than curative healthcare, preventive healthcare allows knowing what is going on with our bodies. Preventive healthcare spans across tests, screenings, regular check-ups, lifestyle changes, immunizations, counseling, etc. This includes not only the physiological aspects but also the psychological ones as stress is one of the leading causes of aging. It analyses what influences a person’s health through biostatistics and epidemiology. Even the smallest change in your body (biological aging) can show up in the preventive medical tests. This enables the diagnosis and treatment of several aging-related diseases like cancer and ultimately contributes to having a longer lifespan and enhancing the quality of life.

The best hack for anti-aging is preventive healthcare, hence a joint initiative brought to India for the very first time by A4M & SMART GROUP led by Dr. BK Modi – A Global Wellness leader, he is the Founder‐Chairman of the Smart Group.
